SEPARABLE FASTENER.

Application filed June 12, 1988. Serial No. 284,830.

The present invention relates to improvements in se arable fasteners and has for its principal object to provide a connecting means between two elements which is of such a nature as to permit the elements to be readily and easily attached or detached with respect to each other. A further ob ectis to provldeaseparable fastener of, the above mentioned character,

10 which, when properly assembled, will positively maintain the complementary elements in a positively connected manner.

Still a further object is to provide a separable fastener of the above mentioned char- ]5 acter which is simple in construct-ion, inexpensive, strong and durable, and further well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

Other objects of the invention will become apparent as the nature of the invention pro- 1 ceeds and when taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application and in which like nu- 5 morals designate like parts throughout the several views:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the separable fastener embodying our invention, showing the same associated with a suspension tab,

and a hose supporter carrying strap showing these members in their connected relation, and v Figure 2 is a detail perspective view shown on a larger scale to more clearly illustrate 5 our improved so iarable fastener.

In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of our invention, the numeral 1 designates an elongated loop that is formed from a 4 single straud of wire, the upper longitudinal side of this elongated loop having an eye formed at its intermediate portion and which eye is designated by the numeral 2.

' The upper longitudinal side of this elongated wire loop is confined within the fold 3 formed at the lower end of a suspension tab 4, that may be attached at its upper end to a garment such as a corset or girdle and suit able stitching 5 extends through the eye 2 and the adjacent portion of the folded lower edge of the suspension tab, whereby the wire loop is properly secured to the folded lower end of the suspension tab.

A hose supporter member, designated generally by the numeral 6 is attached to the lower end of the strap 7 and the upper end of this strap is formed with a folded portion 8,- through the fold of which extends the elongated strand of wire 9 that is formed at its The ends of this straight piece of wire project beyond the side edges of the folded portion 8 and are bent to form the loops 12 and 13 respectively that cooperate with the bight portions 14 and 15 respectively of the elongated loop 1, in the manner as shown very clearly in the drawing, to secure the strap 7 to the suspension tab 4.

In order to detach the strap from the suspension tab, whenever necessary, the strand of wire 9 is pulled in one direction, so that one of 'the loops will be pulled out of engage,- ment with the adjacent bightportion of the elongated loop 1, whereupon said disengaged loop may be passed through the member 1 and by pulling in the opposite direction on the strand of wire 9, the other loop associated with said strand may be disengaged from its adjacent bight portion of the member 1, in the manner readily obvious from the con-- struction shown.

The simplicity of ourimproved separable fastener enables the same to be readily and easily connected or disconnected and will not cause any discomfort to the wearer when in use.

\Vhile we have shown the separable fastener being employed for attaching a hose.

stood that various changes in the size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the appended claims.

hat we claim as new is:

1. In a separable fastener of the class described, an elongated loop having one of its longitudinal'sides secured to an article. a strand of wire secured to another article, the ends of said strand of wire being bent to form loops for engagement with the respective side portions of the elongated loop to maintain the parts of the separable fastener connected, said strand of wire being movable with the article to which it is attached to disengage the loops from the bight portions of supporter carrying strap to the suspension t the elongated loop to disconnect said "fastener, said elongated loop and the strand of wire being formed with'article attaching eyes.

2. In a separable fastener of the class described, an elongated loop havingone of its longitudinal sides secured to an article, a

strand of wire secured to another article, the

to maintain the parts of the separable fas- 7 tener connected, said strand of wire being movable with the article to which it is secured longitudinally of the elongated loop first in one direction and then in the opposite direction to facilitate the disengagement of the loops from the bight portions of the elongated loop to disconnect the fastener.

In testimony whereof We affix onr signatures. v d r f IDA LOUISE KANE.
